Angevine v. Anheuser-Busch Co. Pension Plan, et al., No. 10-2832 (8th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff appealed from the district court's dismissal of his claim for benefits under ERISA, 29 U.S.C. 1001 et seq., where the district court held that he failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. The court held that because plaintiff sought either current or future benefits, the plan provided an administrative procedure for his claim. The facts alleged in plaintiff's complaint showed neither futility nor the lack of an administrative remedy and therefore, the court concluded that he was required to exhaust his administrative remedies under the plan before he could bring a civil action in federal court.
Court Description: Civil case - ERISA. District court did not err in dismissing claim for failure to exhaust the plan's administrative remedies.
